The repeater is ideal as a range extender, that can help reach other users in areas that are normally not covered by a 2-way radio’s range. It is also very useful to help resolve the common problem of the communications “dead spots” that are created when there are terrain obstructions (like hills or trees), concrete building structures or architectural designs that interfere with the radio signal (1).
The repeater is designed to satisfy both MIL-SPEC 810 as well IP55 (2) level water and dust ingress (3) protection making it a rugged device can stand harsh environments. Its light weight and various back-up power options (like alkaline/Li-Ion Batteries Frames and Vehicle Charger) make this repeater a perfect portable solution for temporary (4) and on-scene applications.

PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Proper repeater installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the repeater. Pre-installation planning is required in order to make sure you take into account:
• RF coverage field test to decide mounting location of the repeater in relation to input power and antennas
• Site Environmental Conditions
• Electrical Requirements
• Proper programming of the repeater’s parameters (in order to assure interoperability with other radio devices)."Programming The Repeater" on page 38 for more information.
• Compliant with RF exposure limits.
Note: You must read the entire pre-installation chapter in order to assure proper repeater operation.

Installation Guide
Prior to the RF coverage field test, you must first decide which would be the tentative locations for the repeater. You should have different options that may be evaluated according to the following aspects:
• Location should be as centered as possible to the area that is being intended for coverage so the signal strength is at the same level as possible for all points.
• If the repeater is to be located inside a building, for example, try to look for a height vertically centered location as well.
• To ensure that the location of this device and its antenna is always at a minimum distance of 20 cm away from the bystanders.
• Location should meet minimum environmental requirements. (Please refer to "Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site (*)" on page 13 for more information).

TestThe objective of the field test is to “simulate” the transmission quality and coverage that the repeater may have based upon a chosen location. This type of testing and planning becomes very useful as it can save you extra work and money as a poor location and/or adverse environmental conditions can affect the repeater’s performance.
To do so, one person should remain in the tentative repeater location and the second person should start walking around the area intended to be covered, while transmitting with the radio.
If the quality communication between the two way radios is good, this means that the repeater transmissions should be OK.
The test can be copeople, as long asthe repeater locatio

Make sure you walk around all those places in order to test reception and transmission signal strength.
Conduct the test transmitting preferably on those settings that you plan to have your radios and repeater programmed(*). If possible, repeat the test using different frequencies and codes.
Note: (*) Remember TX range for the repeater is 450 – 455 MHz and RX range is 465 – 470 MHz.
If the reception coverage is below expectations, try changing the height of the antenna or the repeater location (do one change at a time so you can track what is really affecting the coverage) and repeat the field test coverage.

For the explanations in this chapter, please refer to the “Parts of the Repeater” on page 3 under “Repeater Overview” for more information.
Installations ConsiderationsThe repeater is suitable for any location where operations will meet the environmental conditions of MIL Specifications 810 and IP55 (designed to meet level of water ingress and dust protection). For details, please refer to “Appendix A: Repeater Specifications” on page 63.
Repeater Positioning and OrientationOnce you have decided the repeater’s location, make sure you place it on a flat and stable surface lying horizontal as shown in “Figure 6. Repeater Orientation on a Flat Surface” on page 17.

PROGRAMMING THE REPEATER
PROGRAMMING FEATURES OVERVIEWThe repeater is a fully programmable device that provide features customization by using the CPS (Computer Programming Software).
The CPS allows to program frequencies and Codes (either from a pre-loaded frequency default list table or allowing to enter directly any customized value) as well as other features such as Bandwidth, Hang Time-out, Repeater ID Timer, Courtesy Beep timer, Transmit Time Out Timer, Reverse Burst, among others.
One of the key advantages of the CPS is the flexibility to quickly and easily program and clone several repeaters using a customized profile. The CPS also provides security by giving the option to set up a codeplug password for profile repeater's management (CPS Manager Lock).

PROGRAMMING MULTIPLE REPEATERS
SETTING UP MULTIPLE REPEATERS IN A SINGLE LOCATION (MULTIPLE USER GROUPS)As the repeater has 16 different programmable channels to choose from for setting up the TX/RX frequency pairs, it is possible to configure multiple repeaters in the same location or around the same area. Whenever you need to expand the 2-way radios’ coverage in the same area but for different user’s groups, you can use multiple repeaters (in different channels) located at the same site. To ensure that the different groups do not interfere with each other and that each group has their private communications, each repeater and the radios set must have different channel settings (please refer to "Antenna Installation Instructions" on page 19 and "Programming The Repeater" on page 38 for more information).

Note: It is NOT possible to clone from the repeater into the RDX radio.
The only parameters that can be cloned into the repeater are: • channel frequency, • code, • bandwidth, • power, • reverse burst, • scan list • the number of channels.
Before you start the cloning process, make sure you have the following components:
• Fully charged batteries on both the RDX radio and the repeater
• One Single Unit Chargers (SUC) for the RDX Radio (either P/N RLN6304 or RLN6175)
